Aboard the Death Star
At the throne of the emperor
On a mission
Concerning the fate of the entire galaxy
With his lightsaber, glowing brilliantly green in hand
Inside his mind are thoughts, of what must be done
Of what all of his training has prepared him for
Of his destiny
As he raised his weapon above his head to strike
The final battle had begun!

Kitchen Safety
This video is about being safe in the kitchen. I have been learning about this in my Teen Skill class. It’s very important to be safe in the kitchen. If you don’t, you could seriously hurt yourself.
Star Wars Episode VII
As you should already know, I’m a big fan of Star Wars. For the other Star Wars fans, we all know episode VII is coming out in 2015. You would also know that Lucasfilms was bought by Disney. Most people are thinking that because of this, the next Star Wars movie is going to be horrible. Now, Disney isn’t a bad film making business, but it isn’t Star Wars movie making material. Either way, I’m hoping that all be able to see the midnight premiere when it comes out. Even if Disney is producing the movie it can’t be that terrible because, we’ll, it’s Star Wars. That being said, if the next Star Wars movie doesn’t come close to my expectations, then I’m going to be very angry, and lose a lot of respect for Disney.
I’ve done a lot of reading of Star Wars the old republic, and the EU (extended universe) and throughout all of the books I’ve read, all of the books never contradict each other. What I mean by this is, no 2 or more books have several different things going on at the same place, and same time. An example would be if one book said (and this is silly) that Luke Skywalker caught a disease and died right after the 6th movie ended, while another book says that he never had a disease, and went on fighting rogue Jedi that he trained. Anyway, it’s beginning to look like Star Wars episode 7 is not going to be based off of a book or series from the EU. If this was to happen, then Star Wars should lose half of its ratings in my opinion.
I’ve also done some research on rumors, and there were a few sites that had rumors on the characters’ personalities. Based on my the information I found, I believe Star Wars episode 7 still has a chance of not being ruined an even exceeding my expectations of it. This could only work if the movie was based on a trilogy called The Jedi Academy. The first book is called “Jedi Search”, which is what episode 7 should be based on, and the other two books for episode 8 and 9.
The plot of this series has everything to make the movie perfect. First, there is the seemingly boring political business that contains a surprising twist. Then there are the remnants of the once great Empire with another super weapon, even more horrifying than the Death Star. Of coarse, to make Star Wars what it is, you have to have the Jedi vs Sith, which there is plenty of.
If Star Wars episode 7 were to be as great as the book was, then Disney will be rich, just from how many times I went to see the movie in theaters. To all of the people hoping the same as I am about the outcome of the 7th movie, may the Force be with you.

A Good Ending
I really enjoy reading books. Even throughout the action of the book, I don’t enjoy it unless it has a good plot. My favorite kind of books are the ones that have a variety of things going on, or if there are several different stories that are coming from different perspectives. The most important part though, is the ending. If the protagonist worked so hard just to have his life ruined, then there was no point in writing the book. The bad endings are where the author leaves you hanging, or does something completely unexpected that is the exact opposite of what the plot has shown. A good ending would be where the antagonist is gone, everything falls into place, and the protagonist is better, or the same as he was before. If this not happen t the end of a story, then I can guarantee that the ending isn’t good. For instance, in the book Insignia, the antagonist was a poor, kid who was recruited into a high-tech army organization that was based on a lot of new technology. The kid starts working, and becomes one of the top trainees in the project, but also starts a secret relationship with a recruit from the other side. The plot seems like it’s going extremely well, until in the very end, when the kid’s first real opponent is his “girlfriend” from the other side. But in the ending, instead of uniting both sides, showing that neither is bad, he becomes vicious and mean to end the story and win. What was really sad was that I was keeping my dad posted on what was happening in the book, and he was enjoying it as much as I was, and then when I told him how bad the ending was we were both very upset. If you’re looking for a good ending, then I would recommend the Homelanders series. Its a book about a teenager who wake’s up as a prisoner who is wanted dead by a terrorist group, and he cant remember the last year of his life. He eventually escapes and finds the police, and ends up being arrested for a murder that he doesn’t remember doing. Throughout the story, everything that’s going on is so confusing, but packed with action. And when all seems lost, in the last (fourth) book, everything makes sense, and the main character ends up a hero. Now that’s a good ending.
